Publisher's Synopsis
New drug delivery systems have been the focus of attention for the past 20 years. With a range of international contributions, this book summarizes current knowledge of site–specific, implantable, oral and other noninvasive (i.e. transdermal, nasal and ocular) systems, providing a comprehensive overview of the latest approaches to controlled release technology from both academic and industrial viewpoints. The authors not only present clear and concise accounts of current thinking, but additionally offer the reader some appropriate glimpses into the future, where the combination of drug delivery technology and advancing techniques in molecular biology and genetic engineering holds particular promise.
